Almost 300 years ago a small group of Christians were sent here by Gods great grace, through two hawaiian converts. And boy did it take deep root. Thank you Jesus for your kindness to us. Yes, there were explotations by some, but welcome to the human race. But knowing Jesus, and his love you can or should know the difference. My Dear mother bought me here to Moku Ola 66 years ago.

Not much parking, so you may have to walk a little ways...
